Beechworth CFA and SES members, Bright SES and a Wangaratta Fire and Rescue crew arrived at a property south of Beechworth about 9.30am about 9.30am after reports of whimpering from the eight-week-old puppy down the well.
An FRV member was lowered into the well and located the puppy a short time later, which had managed to climb onto a ledge to stay out of the water.
Beechworth CFA captain Tracy McVea said she was proud to be a part of the combined rescue effort.
